Supplements aren't the solution… but they can be part of it. The problem is, no one's really explaining how.In this episode, Gina Livy is joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Paul Hrkal to break down what actually matters in the world of supplements, and why it all feels so overwhelming.

If you've ever wondered what to take, or why nothing seems to work on its own… this one will give some clarity.Where to find Dr. Paul:Instagram: @drpaulhrkalwww.paulhrkalnd.com If you are in the Spring 2026 Support Group, you can check out the full video here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

Today, it's Gina with clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David for an honest conversation about why people often feel stuck during a weight loss journey and what to do about it. Together, they explore the psychological shift that happens when the early excitement of change fades, and the process becomes part of everyday life. Rather than seeing plateaus or boredom as failure, they reframe them as a sign that habits are beginning to move from discipline into identity. The discussion highlights the mental side of sustainable weight loss, encouraging listeners to trust the process, stay curious about their patterns, and recognize that real change comes from showing up consistently, even when the novelty wears off.Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.
